Our Foundation

God puts us in each other’s lives for a purpose. Each person that passes through our doors at It Takes a Village we feel the desire and responsibility as Christians to help impact their lives.

Albert Einstein had it right when he said “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” We see tragedy and heartbreak and have the chance to help turn it around, to lift up our fellow brother and sister. God didn’t create us for ourselves, but he created us for each other. This gives us our purpose in life— it’s the foundation of It Takes a Village.

Our Foundation is stable only through monetary, clothing and household donations. Our biggest need is the cost of keeping our doors open, without that our mission to serve those in need is impossible.

This month alone we have handed out more than 1,000 articles of clothing. It Takes a Village can continue to reach and exceed this month’s total—if we can get the monetary donations.


Would you consider joining us to strengthen our Foundation and purpose in life? Every dollar truly counts.
